Ironing linen and men's shirts is a pleasure for few people. To facilitate the work of housewives, manufacturers are trying to periodically improve the device familiar to everyone - an iron. "Brown" is a German company that is distinguished by its attentive attitude to ergonomics and reliability of household appliances. Consider the irons of this company models Texstyle 7.
The precious iron sole is the main trump card
The iron manufacturers decided to pay attention to such a problem of all irons as abrasion and scratches on the sole. It is known that sapphire is close to diamond in strength. It is this quality that the inventors decided to take advantage of. They covered the sole of the iron with sapphire coating. Now you need to try very hard to leave damage on such a surface. You can even clean the Brown iron with metal brushes. Sapphire will keep the sole in perfect condition for many years.
Specifications
Model power - 2400 watts. This makes it easy to iron the most naughtyfabrics. The narrow spout of the iron is equipped with steam holes. It is very convenient for ironing shirts where there are buttons and other hard-to-reach places.
Steam boost is 170 g/min. The Brown Texstyle 7 iron has a 400 ml water tank. Steaming can be carried out in a vertical position. No need to remove the item from the hanger to freshen it up and iron it. For curtains, this function is considered indispensable.
Special coating of sapphire not only does not scratch, but also provides ease of sliding on the surface of the linen. Auto power off is not available on all Texstyle 7 models. This option is only found on the TS 765 A and TS 785 STP models. To call the steam boost on the body of the iron there is a special button - "Extra Steam". It should be pressed in places where the usual functions of the iron are clearly not enough.
Appearance and ergonomics
The appearance of the device is quite modern and fashionable. The company paid sufficient attention to ergonomics. The handle is made of plastic with rubberized inserts. With long ironing, this is an important fact. Iron "Brown" Texstyle 7 has a cord length of 2.5 meters. This is quite enough, especially if the ironing board itself is equipped with sockets. Colors are grey, blue, white or black.
Positive Feedback
Iron "Brown" reviews from hostesses are mostly positive, and they relate to the ironing process itself. Owners of the device can easily cope with shirts and hard-to-reach places on clothes. All this thanks to the narrowiron spout and holes on it for steaming.
Vertical steaming does not cause complaints from buyers. Iron "Brown" Texstyle 7 perfectly copes with this task.
Like, the happy owners of the device, and the sliding ability of the sole. Time is now spent on the process many times less.
The design of the household appliance is made in such a way that when dropped, the iron will not break and will not lose its functions. This fact is seen in the reviews of housewives. Of course, you should not test the device for strength in this way. Much depends on the height of the damage, and on the flooring. But users are talking about falling off the ironing board.
Included with the iron you can find a special attachment for ironing delicate fabrics. The hostesses note that when using it, you can safely iron thin and white blouses and are not afraid that yellow spots will appear on the surface. This attachment is indispensable for ironing suits and trousers. You can forget about special materials and gauze, through which the older generation of housewives are used to stroking. The nozzle is attached firmly and does not come off during the ironing process.
Ergonomics thought out to the smallest detail. The buttons are comfortable and pressed without much effort. The wheel for choosing the temperature and fabrics also rotates easily. Cord does not twist.
Negative reviews
The Brown iron is not so perfect. Reviews on forms and websites are evidence of this. The main reason why many housewives did not love the device is its instability. This problem is easily solved withthe presence of a special stand on the ironing board. In this case, the iron will be stored in a horizontal position. This is not always convenient, but it is the only way out of the situation.
The cord on some models of the Texstyle 7 iron is not quite strong. Its length also suits not all housewives.
The hole for pouring water is narrow, but this drawback haunts almost all irons. A measuring cup with a spout is not included in many models. You have to use watering cans and bottles.
Scaling does not form in the iron for a certain time. Then the device starts to leak and stain clothes. Only the use of special water for ironing will correct the situation.
The weight of the device, especially with a full steam tank, is impressive and does not suit all the fair sex.
The average price of an iron in Russia is 6-7 thousand rubles.
